A Peaceful Countryside Stay with Modern Comforts


Step inside Bogside Farm Cottage and discover a thoughtfully refurbished space designed to make your stay comfortable, whatever brings you to Ayrshire.


The cottage features two bedrooms, including a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a second bedroom with two small double beds. Both bedrooms feature luxury Emma mattresses, helping you settle in after a busy day exploring the local area.


At the heart of the cottage is a spacious, modern farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with a Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher, washer-dryer and a Rangemaster double oven with a five-hob cooker. There’s also a large dining table, perfect for gathering everyone together over a home-cooked meal.


The south-facing lounge provides a welcoming space to unwind, with comfortable seating and a television. Meanwhile, triple-glazed windows and a new central heating system help keep the cottage cosy throughout the colder months.


Outside, a fully enclosed rear yard offers additional outdoor space to enjoy during your stay.
